1. ISBoxer does not "modify any content appearing within the Game environment or change how the Game is played." ISBoxer is merely a software for managing multiple clients. No game environment settings are altered by ISBoxer and no gameplay mechanics are altered while using the software.

2. ISBoxer does not accelerate the "acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play." ISBoxer allows for scenarios that spreads the tasks across multiple clients, but each individual iteration of the action being performed by ISBoxer occurs at the same rate as it does on the primary client: ie: at a human rate of input. Specific scripting of actions is in violation of the EULA as the computer then processes those actions at an accelerated rate, but the broadcasting system used by ISBoxer for multiple clients is not performed at an accelerated rate when compared to a primary client.

3. ISBoxer modifies no UI assets in the EVE Online client. All additional assets provided by ISBoxer are dialogs overlayed by the program on top of the EVE client. If anything, it's a modification of information presented on the screen, but there is no actual modifications of the compiled client code and UI elements (unless done through additional scripting which is a no-no).

No, I'm not saying that ISboxer is not more efficient at giving commands to clients than one human alt-tabbing between clients.

I did say that ISBoxer does not accelerate the "acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play."

You have not found a rebuttal to this, I'll lurk around waiting.

Time and Effort savings aren't mentioned in the Eula in the same way you are saying time

One ISBOXER running 10 ICE miners doesn't not make a single isk more than 10 players Ice mining next to them.

He may do it by himself, he may save time over a single ice miner in getting 200 blocks saved up, but again NO FASTER than if he had 10 computers and 10 accounts, one on each computer.

more efficient, but not faster

I'm still waiting for an answer to how CCP are supposed to differentiate between a software solution and a hardware solution without flat out banning multiboxing all together.

No it doesn't but, please, continue to think that. The differences are measured in fractions of a second - the reaction time of the human body.

Let me give you a real life example. Before I took my last break, I used to routinely run four clients on four separate screens, from two computers using just one mouse and keyboard. No IS Boxer. "But what is this sorcery?" you might ask. I used a software product called synergy that automatically shifts the keyboard and mouse inputs to another computer on the same network simply by dragging the mouse to the edge of the screen. In theory, it scales infinitely, though the need to have physical screens provides a hard limit for how many you could run practically.

All that was required for me to keep mining was occasionally dragging my mouse from one screen to the other, and hitting a few keyboard shortcuts. IS Boxer essentially removes only one step in that process - dragging the mouse. So this "vast difference" you're talking about is marginal at best over other software, or hardware, that provides the same results.

So do you use IsBoxer now? And if so, why? Do you mean to tell me you spent your money for no reason? Really. Do tell us all how you just throw money away for no reason, oh excuse me, fractions of a second, we're all interested in hearing about it.

You're starting to foam at the mouth there a little bit man. WTF are you on about?

One player alt-tabbing at 10 clients vs. 1 player using 10 ISBoxer clients will have a different income because ISBoxer make sit more efficient.

This still doesn't mean that ISBoxer accelerates the "acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play."

You really have a hard time understanding what is being talked in this thread.

The entire EULA is on a character/account basis. Character A+B+C being controlled by ISBoxer will achieve the same amount of items within the same time fram as characters X+Y+Z each being controlled by a separate person.

This is the interpretation CCP has ruled with. Its the interpretation you will have to live with.

If you have a problem with it, I really dont think CCP cares, because youll find something else to whine about with players having these insurmountable "advantages" over you.

See, you are comparing one person, to one person, that is NOT the metric

The metric is account to account

Can 4 people playing their accounts talking on Teamspeak go thru low sec and kill things, yes, arguably better than the ISBoxer if their is logo involved

Where ISBoxer shines is when you have enough to aloha a ship, which still can be achieved by XX number of single players

Is an ISBoxing single person running 10 accounts going to be better than a single person alt-tabbing 10 accounts, **** yes he will, that is why he got ISBoxer in the first place. But does it ACCELERATE the ability to gather things in game?

NO, they are all gathered at the same rate
